Italy has cemented its position as the reigning Davis Cup champion, claiming its third consecutive title by defeating Spain in the final. The Italians secured a 2-0 lead without the services of their star player, Jannik Sinner, who opted out of the tournament to focus on next season. Matteo Berrettini and Flavio Cobolli were the heroes of the day, each winning their singles matches in straight sets. In a surprising move, Sinner, ranked second in the world, chose not to participate in the tournament, joining Lorenzo Musetti, who was also absent. Spain, meanwhile, was without its top-ranked player, Carlos Alcaraz. Despite the absence of key players from both teams, the match between Italy and Spain was highly competitive. The turning point came when Cobolli fought back from a 6-1 deficit in the second set to win a thrilling match against Jaume Munar, securing the winning point for Italy. This victory marked the third time this week that Cobolli has clinched the winning point for his team. Italy's victory marks its fourth Davis Cup title and the first time it has won on home soil. Spain, a six-time champion, had not reached the title match since 2019.
